Two houses for the price of one. Unique property offers many possibilities to maximize this opportunity to create one's own compound. Pictures cannot adequately show the full potential for this 5-acre property. Main house was designed and built by a contractor as his home. It sits back from the road and is accessed by a long, tree-lined, winding driveway. Solidly built with quality standards and materials, it is spacious with generous-sized rooms and beautiful features. Everyday living and entertaining will be special,whether small or large gatherings. A wide, welcoming covered porch spans the front of the house. Walk through a leaded glass door into the foyer to see the incredibly wide staircase, one of many architectural features. To the left there is a huge dining room with two built-in cupboards and French doors to a fenced patio area. To the right is a library, den, or office. The living room has a built-in wet bar, a propane stove, and an atrium door to a balcony. Behind the living room is a family room beside an attached workshop area,storage space, or mud room leading to the incredibly large garage. A powder room has access from both the living room and family room. In addition to a walk-in pantry with counter and cupboards, the kitchen has a large peninsula for seating and serving. A spacious galley-style working area has lots of counter space and double sinks, and adjoins a heated stone sunroom filled with natural light, planters built into the stonework and another door leading to the fenced-in area outside. Enjoy morning coffee or casual dining while basking in sunshine and looking at gorgeous views.This is not an ordinary layout and lends itself to wonderful flow and separate spaces for each household member.

On one end of the hall is an owner's suite with two large walk-in closets and a large bathroom There are two other bedrooms, one with a bathroom, and the other with a laundry area for second floor convenience.

Now to the second house. It has its own driveway, a one-car garage and backs to conserved land that can't be developed.
